The iPhone life cycle usually starts every summer. New iPhone speculation seems to have started early as the Wall Street Journal is reporting two new iPhones are coming this summer, with one of them being a CDMA model slated for Verizon.

One of the biggest gripes people have had with their iPhones is that fact there is no Flash support. This makes a lot of the world wide web un-viewable on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Many sites embed video using Flash, or have Flash games, or are completely built in Flash. This can be frustrating…

George Hotz, the original iPhone unlocker, made a quick post on his blog yesterday, showing a new jailbreak. Also known as “Geohot”, this hacker is the guy who brought us Blackra1n and Blacksn0w, and also discovered an exploit that could allow for the PS3 to be rooted and modded. He always seems to pop up…
